Customer Reviews
- Karl· July 20th, 2025It was a real privilage to learn the countries important history directly from those who lived through the events. We had the best Tour Guide who ensured all tge group enjoyed themselves.Show more
- Samuel· June 17th, 2025Our CEO, John did an amazing job. I also appreciate the kindness of the local guides. The trip was great overall, and I gained knowledge about culture and history not to mention the beautiful places that we had visited.Show more
- Aidar· June 10th, 2025Great tour, great scenery. It won't include much nature, mostly cities/towns/villages. Definitely at least once in a lifetime trip with many memorable moments - sunsets, beaches, lively towns, historic sites like Bayon temple (loved it!), massive caves like I haven't seen before, really beautiful sunset scenery when paragliding, gorgeous mountains you get to climb etc. It was really great. The accommodations will be very basic but expected given the price. It'll be very active as you'll be spending a lot of time on the road every 1-2 days, perhaps a "chill" day every few days would make the trip less exhausting, especially when you're doing this for a whole month, as you'll be drained by the end, not ideal! The main gripe would be the constant guilt tripping and even blatant "it's not cool to tip less than we tell you" messages from tour guides. Constant pressure to tip, which I'm ok with to an extent, but, let's be honest, the demanded tips were way too much in some cases. And the "we are very poor that's why it's your obligation to throw your hard earned money at us" speeches that would last up to an hour need to be toned down, especially when people aren't that poor, just living like everywhere else. Personally I didn't work hard to afford once in a lifetime trip to be constantly nagged and be treated like a cash cow when I've already paid and I have little doubt that generous tipping was already included in the overall cost. With that said the tour guides were overall very friendly, accommodating. Zero issues with transportation, though do be ready on occasion to be drenched in sweat the whole day and jump into a train without a shower!Show more

Asked on June 25th, 2025can i just check if there is an additional charge for a solo traveller ? Can you book additional days staying at the same hotels before and after the tour ?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2025
Since you will be traveling alone, let us know if you/someone would be happy sharing with another solo traveller of the same gender on the tour free of charge. If you would prefer to add a single supplement, we can do so for an additional $1549.00 (USD). We are also able to assist with pre-nights should you require it with your booking at an additional cost (that will be based on a solo room).

Traveler•Written June 2025what happens if i wish to share a room to avoid the single room rate but if there isnt another single guest of the same sex on the tour, would i then be charged the higher rate? and could i specify that they must be a nonsmoker as i cant stand smoking especially if it was in the room ?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2025
If you opt for a twin room and then no other solo travellers of the same gender joined the tour, you would be allocated a private room by default. However this is not something to be relied on so if you prefer to guarantee a single supplement we recommend that you pay for it in advance to avoid disappointment.

Traveler•Written June 2025will i need the e-visa for vietnam in advance or is this arranged at the boarder? i am on a new zealand passport so dont need visa for china part of the tour.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2025
Generally it's best to get an evisa in advance to avoid any delays.

- G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025
The minimum age required is 12 years old, and the maximum exception we can do is if the child is 11 years and 9 months as of the first day of the tour. We are unable to make any further exceptions to our age requirements.
